Hi,
Can we get the image from think finger for user feedback? Ray mentioned we might be able to fake it, which would probably be good enough.
To be clear, what I was saying was:
- It would be really cool if we could show a finger print on screen when the user scans their finger - The fingerprint wouldn't have to be the user's fingerprint, just as long as it looked like a fingerprint and looked different than other people's fingerprints
I don't know what fingerprint scanners store (actual image data, or just enough information to identify the print or what). Even if we don't have a full image to show, we could potentially just perturb a fake fingerprint seeded by whatever data we do have.
Having said that, I think some scanners do give image data. David pointed me to this post he made a long time ago:
